Climb higher and you will find them in the alpine
I have seen a few around kamloops over the years but wouldn't bother targeting them, not my favorite table fare
Alpine indeed few and far between but I have ran into a few up high while muley hunting
Saw them when we were snipe hunting. Being white they stood out.
by far the most ptarmigan I have seen in region three was a fall hunt on the relay plateau...but I have seen them in the rocks high on most mountains up the north Thompson as well...they live in the rocks pretty much where nothing much else does....

Me and the kid killed a bunch in the alpine near Clearwater last fall. 7500 feet or so.
Need to come up North. We hunt round Atlin and near Haines border. Not a soul and tons of birds. Jumped flocks of 40 birds easy.
